Aamir Khan doesn’t want kids to see Rani’s ‘Mardaani’

Perfectionist Aamir Khan applauded Rani Mukherjee’s ‘Mardaani’ but he feels
the film is not suitable for kids as it shows violence and children should not
be exposed to such things.

‘Mardaani’, which is based on child trafficking, received ‘A’ certificate
from censor board but Rani has sent the film to censor board to review again so
that children above 12 years of age can view it.

When asked about the same, Aamir said, "There are some words in the
film that I would not want my children to see. I also feel that very small
children should not see this kind of violence. I don't want an eight-year-old
child to see that. That's what I think."

"I know Rani may have a different opinion. She is a close friend of
mine and I respect her, but I feel the film does have a certain amount of
violence," he said.

Aamir feels that "we have become insensitive towards our children that
we show them almost anything."

"Sometimes absurd things are shown in U and U/A (certified) films... I
think we have to be much more careful with the kind of violence we are exposing
our children to. I have a certain responsibility towards what I am showing to
my children. I have to fulfil my responsibility," said the father of
three.

Aamir doesn’t want his children to hear unpleasant word used in movies. "There
are certain words that I don't like my children to hear, which is why I would
be sensitive to other people's children as well. In case I want to use such
words, I will make sure that it's properly advertised as an adult film,"
said Aamir who made Delhi Belly and promoted it as an adult comedy.

"There should be freedom of speech, and we are old enough to decide
whether we want to see or not... we don't need to censor it from them
(adults)."
